Blood culture
◦ Cultivation of blood sample
◦ Want to isolate and identify the bacteria or fungus
from the blood, in some pathologic conditions.
Bacteriemia – the presence of bacteria in
the blood for a short period of time,
without clinical expression.
Septicaemia – systemic disease associated
with the presence and persistence of the
microorganisms or their toxins in the blood.


Normally the blood is sterile
In blood culture can grow:
◦ Contaminants bacteria from skin, during sampling
◦ Microorganisms occasionally identified in the blood, in
different situation:




Skin lesions (catheter, teeth extraction)
Obstruction of billiary or urinary tract)
Profound suppuration
In most of cases, the episode are transitory. In case of patients
with endocard lesions, there is conditions for infectious
endocarditis developing.
◦ Bacteria which are frequent isolated from:
 Infectious endocardytis;
 Enteric fever
 Infectious with Haemophilus influenzae (type b).
 Brucellosis,
 Frequent in acute lobar pneumonia, meningitis,
can develop infections with septic metastasis localization.

Introduction of the blood in culture media for blood culture: for every
sample are used 2 flacons: one with aerobic incubation and one with
anaerobic incubation. The bottles are incubated in thermostat at 37 °C and
are kept for 2 weeks.
When can we say that the blood culture of the patient is positive?
- Solid phase: appearance of the colonies;
- Liquid phase:
 turbidity
 destruction / coagulation of erythrocytes
 appearance of gas.

Next steps:
◦Microscopic examination of the colonies from the solid phase
◦Subculture
◦Biochemical and antigenic identification
◦Antibiogram.
1. Sampling before antimicrobial therapy;
2. Sampling from different veins, for each blood
culture;
3. Avoidance of sampling through i.v. catheter
4. Quick transportation at laboratory, or, if it is not
possible, incubation of bottle at 37C, until the
moment of sending.
5. Isolation of the same bacteria from many bottles.

The arguments of the microbiolog:
Has clinical significance: isolation of the same bacteria
(species) in 2/3 vials and from different veins.
◦ Contamination: isolation of different bacteria from blood
culture bottles, from the same patient
◦ Quantitative blood culture help to argue the clinical
significance of the conditioned pathogen; it is indicated
when the skin decontamination is difficult.
◦ The presence of some bacterial structure involved in the
pathogeny of catheter bactaeremia ( biofilms );
◦ The argumentation of poly-microbial bactaeremia is based
on isolation of at least 2 microorganisms from the same
blood culture, at least two times in 24 hours.
The arguments of the clinician:
◦ The age and the immune status of the patient;
◦ The characteristics of the primary septic focus;
◦ Inflammatory system: leukocyte, CRP, fibrinogen.



The absence of bacteria from the sample;
Low sensitivity of the method;
Samples collected after treatment with
antibiotics.

Efficient antibiotic therapy:

Non – efficient antibiotic therapy:
◦ Decreasing of CRP value
◦ Normalizing of CRP concentration means clinical recovery;
◦ Persistent increasing of CRP at the end of antibiotic
treatment means reappearance of the infectious;
◦ Linear evolution of CRP:
- incorrect antibiotic dosages;
- the resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics;
- forming of a localized suppurate process;
- a non – infectious disease;
- severe prognosis.


Blood sampling through catheters;
Using just one single bottle instead of three;
Cultivation of some quantity of blood in the same
bottles used for other analysis (CRP, glucose,
calcium).
Woman, 62 old years, is admitted to hospital with
echocardiography diagnosis of sub-acute
endocarditis.
From 3 blood cultures was isolated Enterococcus
spp. Difuzimetric antibiogram has the next results:
Ampicillin – Resistant (R)
Ceftriaxone – Sensitive (S)
Gentamicin (120g) - R
Clindamycin - S
Cotrimoxazol - R
Vancomycin - S
Teicoplanin - S
Linezolid - S
There are 2 types of resistance to beta
lactams:
 Resistance by producing beta lactamase: this
resistance has recently appeared in North
America and in Latin America, but none of this
kind of strains were detected in Europe.
 Resistance by modification of PLP: enterococci
are naturally resistant to cephalosporines,
oxacilins and monobactams.
 (Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) is a coenzyme
synthesized by all forms of life).

Interpretative antibiogram
•The resistance to Ampicillin and the high level of
resistance for Gentamicin compromise the synergic
effect of this association;
•This phenotype of resistance is frequent for E.
faecium;
•Sensibility testing for Ceftriaxone is incorrect and
the reported result is false, because is known that
the enterococci are naturally resistant to
cephalosporins;
•The sensitivity for clindamycin and cotrimoxazole is
also false; this can be explained because of the
species identification;
Case 2
Patient, 68 years old, diabetes, AVC, comma, has
received medication through catheter. After 2 weeks present
fever and inflammatory syndrome at the place of catheter
insertion.
Blood culture made through a non catheterized vein
was positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae with the next
sensitivity to antibiotics:
Amoxicillin - R
Gentamicin - R
Amoxicillin +Clavulanic acid - R Amikacin - S
Ticarcillin - R
Ciprofloxacin - R
Piperacilin + Tazobactam - I
Cotrimoxazole - R

EUCAST guidelines for detection of resistance mechanisms and specific resistances of clinical and/or
epidemiological importance, July 2013
•Hospital bacteria which produce beta-lactamase
with broad spectrum;
•False sensitivity for Ceftriaxone; this phenotype
is known to be resistant for all the
Cephalosporins;
•Associated resistance to antibiotics from other
category;
•The Carbapenems remain active; Ertapenem is
preferred;
•It is compulsory the replacement of the colonized
catheter.

•Bacteria is resistant to Oxacillin (Meticillin
resistant), so it will be resistant to all beta lactam
antibiotics, including carbapenems;
•Testing for Vancomycin through difuzimetric
antibiogram it is not indicated, because the
sensitivity to this antibiotic can be tested trough
MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration).
